Monetize Your Sub-Minimum Leads Without IT Scope Creep or Client Risk
Partner with a CISSP-led pure-play MSSP and turn sub-minimal seat prospects into automated recurring revenue – with zero helpdesk drag, strict non-compete protection, and an automatic handoff back to your IT team when the client grows.
Built by a Former MSP Account Executive Who Faced the Same Frustration
If you run or sell for a midsize MSP in Los Angeles, you see it every week: prospective clients with small user counts reach out, but they fall well below your monthly contract minimums.
You’re faced with an unappealing choice:
- Take them on and drag your helpdesk into low-margin ticket noise.
- Turn them away, leave revenue on the table, and leave a local business unprotected against modern cyber threats.
After I ran a small MSP for 7 years and spent 4 years as an AE at two local MSPs, I founded Blue Leaf and built built a safe, zero-friction referral program specifically to solve this problem for peer MSPs.
Core Guarantees for Our MSP Partners
| Your Operational Risk | Our Strategic Solution |
| Fear of Client Poaching | Strict Non-Compete Guarantee: We deliver strictly Managed Cybersecurity Services. We do not offer general IT helpdesk, workstation provisioning, network maintenance, or hardware support. If a client asks for daily IT help, we immediately defer back to your team. |
| Losing Growing Accounts | Dual-Trigger Graduation Clause: If a referred client reaches a maximum active seat count OR requests full-scope Managed IT helpdesk services, our contract obligates us to initiate a warm handoff back to your MSP so you can onboard them. |
| Administrative Friction | 100% Automated Recurring Payouts: Powered by Stripe Connect. No writing manual invoices, chasing paper checks, or auditing seat counts. Payouts adjust and transfer automatically every time the client pays. |
| Brand & Reputation Risk | CISSP-Led Operations: Led by an operator with 12+ years of local LA MSP experience, delivering enterprise-grade SOC monitoring, threat detection, and vCISO advisory. |
How the Referral Partnership Works
1. Identify Lead –> 2. Warm Handoff –> 3. Assessment & Onboarding –> 4. Automated Payouts
- You Identify a Sub-Minimum Lead: A prospect under your minimum seat count reaches out. Instead of dropping the lead, you flag them as a fit for Blue Leaf.
- You Handoff & Introduce (Your Terms): Introduce us via email. Stay on the discovery calls as much as you want, or go 100% hands-off and let us handle sales and onboarding.
- We Close & Onboard the Client: We present our lightweight managed security stack. We handle 100% of the cybersecurity delivery and defer all general IT requests back to your firm.
- Automated Payouts Begin: You complete a quick 2-minute registration linking your business bank account to Stripe. Your 15% recurring referral fee is automatically split and deposited into your account every month, dynamically scaling as the client’s seat count changes.
What We Cover for Your Referred Clients
- Identity & Cloud Protection: 24/7 Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR) and User Behavior Analytics (UEBA) for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
- Perimeter & Email Security: Advanced phishing protection, domain monitoring, and dark web scanning.
- Endpoint & Data Defense: Managed Endpoint Detection & Response (MDR), secure browsing filters, and cloud data protection.
- Human Risk & Executive Advisory: Monthly automated phishing simulations, security awareness training, 24/7 SOC response, and Virtual CISO (vCISO) guidance.
TL;DR: Traditionally underserved “micro business” clients – who don’t really need and can’t afford a full MSP stack – still desperately need security. Rather than dropping small leads and leaving money on the table, leverage our zero-friction MSP referral program!
